Elfsight AI Chatbot
Elfsight AI Chatbot lets you add an AI agent to your WordPress website in minutes. Create a chatbot trained on your business data on elfsight.com, then connect it here to automate customer support, capture leads, drive sales, and answer questions 24/7 — no coding required.
You configure the chatbot in the Elfsight dashboard; this plugin takes care of embedding it correctly on your WordPress site.
Features
- Guided setup — a two-step screen: create your widget in Elfsight, then paste the install code and click Add. No page reloads.
- Widget card — once added, the widget shows as a card with its preview, name, an Edit link, a Show/Hide toggle, and a quiet “Replace with a different widget” link.
- Smart setup check — the plugin confirms your widget is ready to go and warns you if the ID looks wrong or belongs to a different widget.
- Automatic placement — floating chatbots appear on every page with no extra steps.
- Shortcode — place the chatbot exactly where you want with
[elfsight_ai_chatbot](required for the “embed” layout). - Block editor — insert the “Elfsight AI Chatbot” block from the Widgets category.
- Show/hide toggle — temporarily disable the chatbot without deleting your widget ID.
- Quick edit link — jump straight to your widget in the Elfsight dashboard from the settings and plugins screens.
External services
This is the official Elfsight plugin. It connects your WordPress site to Elfsight, a third-party SaaS where your AI Chatbot is created, trained and managed. The plugin itself only stores the widget ID you enter; all chatbot functionality is provided by the Elfsight service.
- When you save a widget ID, the plugin contacts Elfsight to confirm the widget exists and to detect how it should be placed on your site. Only the widget ID is sent — no personal or site data.
- On the front end, the chatbot is rendered by Elfsight’s widget platform, loaded from the Elfsight CDN.
